REMEMBERING TODAY?
The ultimate sacrifice, of one?s life, in defense of a nation, of
peace, of freedom, is a sacrifice we must always remember and honour.
Armenians who survived the Genocide and deportations from their
ancestral lands early in the 20th century spread around the world in
search of freedom and dignity. The sons and daughters of those who
landed in Canada have proudly served Canada, dating back to the First
World War. Learning from the lessons of our own history, Armenian
Canadians also have a moral obligation to remember and to pay tribute
to the many unknown victims of war, of war crimes and of crimes
against humanity. They, too, are amongst those brave men and women who
have sacrificed their lives for our wellbeing today.
The Armenian National Committee of Canada, on behalf of the Canadian
Armenian community, would like to thank the Canadian Government and
its armed forces for the security and safety they bring to our
community and our country from coast to coast. We remember and are
grateful for the ultimate sacrifices of all those who have fallen on
and off the battlefields to protect our welfare.
This year, 100 years after the start of the Great War, we especially
remember Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo,
who were killed during attacks on Canadian soil. It reminds us all
that there is a high price to be paid for the freedom that we all
enjoy, and that Canada must always stand on guard.
